They are aggrieved by the failure on the part of the 3rd
respondent in conducting referendum for recognition of unions of

Independent Observer of the referendum proceedings. The
petitioner therefore, seeks a direction to complete the
proceedings initiated by Exts.P6 and P7 within a time frame.
2. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties in this
writ petition. After hearing, I am satisfied that the proceedings
initiated by EXts.P6 and P7 shall be completed within a time
frame.
